3.2.4 Executor Naming

Each executor started up on a single system requires a unique process name on that system.

By default a name will be created for the executor based on the name of the server that

started it and a hexadecimal value that represents the instance of the executor process with

relation to the server.

The executor naming format may be changed by using the srv.execPrefix configuration

option.

If the srv.execPrefix configuration option is specified for a Multi-process server, all

executors for that server will have this name prefix. The server will try to provide a unique

name for each executor instance by appending to the given prefix as many characters of the

hexadecimal numeric id of the executor that will still keep the executor name within the

Process name sized expected by OpenVMS.

Names of executors are not case-sensitive.

See XML Formatted Configuration File

for more details on server definitions.

By default the name of the executor subprocess has the following format:

Format

First seven (7) characters of server name + eight (8) character hexadecimal id.

Example

RDBTHNS00000220

Thus the first seven (7) characters of the names of multi-process servers started up within

the same system should be unique irrespective of character casing, otherwise, executor

process names may class

If specified the srv.execPrefix will override this default naming format.

Given the srv.execPrefix of "MY_EXECUTOR_" the fourth executor will be named:

MY_EXECUTOR_004

Note:

The longer the prefix, the smaller the number of characters that may be used to provide

uniqueness, so consideration should be given to the number of concurrent executors that

you expect a server to maintain when specify a customized executor name prefix.
